On page 90, Hinton states "If Dally had said yes, Johnny would have gone back to the church without hesitation. "Oh Damnit, Johnny, don't die, please don't die." He suddenly bolted through the door and down the hall." This tells the reader that Dallas is alone. On page 149, the author writes "Dally swallowed and reached over to push Johnny's hair back "Never could keep that hair back.that's what you get for tryin' to help people, you little punk, that's what you get." "Damnit, Johnny." he begged, slamming one fist against the wall, hammering it to make it obey his will. He went around trying to break laws." This reveals that Dally is uncaring, wild and bold. He liked to show that he didn't care whether there was a law or not. On page 20, the author states "We all had money to get in-it only costs a quarter if you're not in a car - but Dally hated to do things the legal way. He was too late though Dally walked out with two packages of Kools under his jacket." This reveals that Dallas is mischievous. On page 19 the author writes "We bought cokes and blew straws at the waitress, and walked around eying things that were lying out in the open until the manager got wise and suggested we leave. He was as wild as the boys in the downtown outfits, like Tim Shepard's gang." This reveals that Dallas is hateful, tough, and fierce. The shade difference that separates a greaser from a hood wasn't present in Dally. He was tougher than the rest of us-tougher, colder, meaner. On pages 10 and 11, Hinton writes "Dally had spent three years on the wild side of New York and had been arrested at the age of ten.
